[Update: Warning. Parody? The related story is that Barack Obama is going on vacation... (all humor attributable to Drudge).] Here it is, from the Times in Britain: U.C. Berkeley researchers have blabbed to the press about their proprietary light-bending coatings, invented by a team led by Xiang Zhang, that should allow for the complete invisibility of human beings and cloaking them as well as their | Read More »

As everyone knows, John Edwards admitted yesterday to carrying on an adulterous relationship with a “documentary film maker” while his wife was battling cancer. Yes, we know, as we’ve known since 1992, that EVERYONE commits adultery but the bar of decency and common sense while engaging in adultery has certainly been lowered in the past 24 hours. You can step right across it now. Part | Read More »

His identity is no surprise. The only surprising thing is that in this day and age, the argument still needs to be made that free trade is a far better policy to follow than is the mindless and destructive protectionist–and yes, xenophobic–prescription Barack Obama’s allies are cooking up.

When stories like this one actually have to be written and pushed out, it is clear that there is something wrong with efforts to bring a fractured Democratic Party together: Hillary Rodham Clinton says she truly wants Barack Obama to win the White House, even though he dashed her own presidential dreams. And she’s going to keep saying it, despite the doubters. The New York | Read More »

Today, we look at MI. Only one brand new poll, but I’ll tease this into a full expose on MI polling. First, Rasmussen has a new poll from Aug 7 (July 10): McCain 45 (42)Obama 49 (50) To supplement that the most recent other poll is from PPP (D) on July 27 (Jun 22): McCain 43 (39)Obama 46 (48) And the only other pollster active | Read More »

I really like the new McCain ad (see here for Jonathan Martin’s take and Obama’s response): The McCain ad people have really have found their voice in turning out-of-control Obamania against Obama, who will be picking his teeth out of his tonsils from this one. It’s a great ad in three ways.

Is RedState really selling t-shirts and mugs that say Obama is the Anti-Christ?Because in this Time article and I use the word article loosely, the 10th paragraph says that we’re selling these things. Having not seen any reference to a RedState store or any such thing, I was confused.

By now I am sure most of us who read the news and pay attention to the election note that there is no tolerance for making light hearted jokes or jabs at Senator Barack Obama. Time’s Amy Sulivan proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt by claiming McCain’s “the one” advertisement was really meant to portray the Junior Senator from Illinois as the antichrist. | Read More »

The incomparable Peggy Noonan is right. There has been a perceptible shift in the presidential election. She just may be a little later than we normally would expect her to be in noticing it. In today’s online Wall Street Journal, Noonan writes: This thing is moving. Things are shifting around a bit. That’s what I see looking back at the past four weeks… For the | Read More »

I sat at a table in Wilmington, NC Attending a conference courtesy of GE. Both sides were invited, but only one came A staffer named Don (representing McCain), Don gave his talk on policy things, Told of energy plans, invited us to the ring, Fielded our questions as best as he could, Said that McCain wouldn’t just knock on wood. On opposite side, Nobody stood | Read More »

In response to what, I hear you ask? Why, this*: I figure that I could ask Obama supporters when they were going to start wearing ceremonial articles of clothing, or maybe I could start shouting out “Is there no help for the Widow’s Son?” and “Jacques de Molay, thou art avenged!” at random moments{*}; I might have even made a suggestion that Obama’s real purpose | Read More »

88 Days until Election Day August 8, 2008 MORNING UPDATE: PELOSI IN ANN ARBOR….HELPING SAVE THE PLANET….while we pay more for gas and energy…sending over $700 Billion a year overseas to some unfriendly nations because the Democrats won’t let us drill and develop our own oil reserves. Shame! Nancy Pelosi’s energy plan: Write a bad book, pulp the remainders, and burn the waste as biomass. | Read More »

Why, pray tell, are we going after oil companies again? This question is especially important, given the fact that there are so many other industries that are making more in terms of profit margin. I mean, is demagoguery so important to the “reality-based community” that reality is being so utterly and completely abandoned here? Sigh. Don’t answer that.
